83 – The Empire’s Circumstances (3)

“Did you know now? The power of a little child that you ignore so much.”

Ruid bit Irene and didn’t let go. Rather, she even chewed on her.

“… It certainly seems to have power.”

Liszt said timidly. It was clinging to Irene only by biting force. Her dental strength seemed considerable.

“And you, Irene, haven’t changed as of now.”

“Louis, I’m sorry, sister. Are you angry?”

“You are still hoping for a dispute. If the magic had continued, the system would have been blown away. You who want and wish for such a disaster are not normal.”

“Hmm. It’s cute, like a struggling baby cat.”

Wrinkles appeared between Liszt’s forehead.

“Listen to what people say!”

“Ah.”

Only then did Irene look at the list. Exactly, it was beyond that.

Irene passed the list. Her expression hardened at her apparent disregard for herself.

“It’s kind of like that when someone who isn’t in the party is talking about it. There seems to be someone else to take responsibility for this situation.”

Charon had a fearful expression on his face as the shock from just now did not go away.

Irene bowed her back in front of Karon with a smile on her face. Her blonde hair was flowing and she made a shadow. Even in the shadows, the wall contained a soft light.

“Did you tell the wizard that you were strong?”

“… ….”

“I think Louis was doing it while he was dozing off while he was watching the magic he used – remember that.”

White breath came out of Charon’s mouth. Even though she reaped her magical power, this is all. What would have happened if she had gone all the way?

‘This can’t be real. There is no way an individual would have had that much power. This is a bad dream.’

Irene whispered.

“Windsor never shows his teeth to anyone. You just didn’t deserve it.”

“I was so wrong. Did you do something wrong enough to do something like this? Excessive!”

Irene’s eyes grew cold.

“You are a child without reflection.”

Amelia approached with a firm expression.

“Sister, I will take care of it myself.”

“It doesn’t matter which country.”

Irene smiled brightly.

“That’s why I came here.”

“…… I promised a duel.”

Irene stared at Amelia. Like, she was the face that said what does she have to do with herself.

‘As expected, it’s useless.’

Amelia knew Irene very well.

She doesn’t even care if she has a pact or if she has to fight for her honor.

But there was one thing that worked well for Irene. Exactly that-

“My sister is wearing a louis, so she can’t fight.”

Sell Ruid.

Irene seriously touched her lips and nodded her head twice.

“Yes. I’m out for a while.”

Irene said coolly and walked behind her. As she hugged Louis.

“Thank you.”

Although the situation was a bit awkward, Amelia felt she had found her place.

She drew her sword and held it upright. It was time for her to show the results of her last practice.

**

Pretending to be dead was really too much.

Really, it was too.

In fact, if she had been able to keep her composure, she would have noticed right away. That Irene would never get tired of her kids.

But when she saw Irene lying down, she couldn’t think of anything else.

It was a sight I would never want to see again.

As soon as she realized it was acting anyway, she felt a mixture of shame, anger, relief, etc., And she unknowingly bit Irene’s arm.

‘…… When do I take it off?’

Her jaw started to hurt. Whether her coat is hard or her arms are hard, it feels like she’s chewing on rubber.

She was rather being hugged and petting her head.

This was definitely her strange comfort and the feeling of losing her reason as a human being.

A sense of relief that you are being nurtured.

“… !”

Louis quickly regained her consciousness and let go of Irene’s arm.

Irene stared down at Ruid. She had a sad expression.

“My older sister is fine. It’s okay to bite for the rest of your life.”

Irene whispered softly.

“I will take you to the castle and raise you well. Forever-“

It was almost half madness.

For some reason, Ruid thought of a future that seemed to be approaching.

-Louis, do you have to properly tie her leash?

… He didn’t like it.

Shaking her head quickly, she brushed off her delusions.

“I hate it.”

She turned to Amelia.

The duel was already in full swing there. The pattern was the same as last time. Charon was barely defending himself.

But – it’s just the beginning.

‘Amelia’s skills are still lacking.’

However, Charon is seriously injured. Compared to her, Amelia is sober.

‘If it were like this- it would be roughly similar.’

Even with Ruid’s calculation ability, it was difficult to hastily determine who would win.

One thing’s for sure, though, is that if Amelia tries to hurt her, she’ll break everything.

‘Try to touch even a single strand of her hair. It’s been an ice age since that day.’

Ruid burned his hostility. Just then, she saw Liszt come over and stand beside her with her arms crossed.

“What if I win the duel?”

Irene answered with her smile.

“Nothing changes.”

I meant to kill everyone.

A dark cloud fell over Liszt’s face.

“In my throat-“

“As I said earlier, it is impossible. Rather, you must stay alive. The Teutonic Knights are an important force to Your Majesty.”

Liszt had a bitter smile on his face.

“Thank you for thinking of me.”

“Yes, because Windsor is a loyalist by nature.”

“…… Think again, even thinking of Your Majesty. I’m old. The old exist to be pushed aside by the young. It’s time to hand it over.”

“If anyone hears it, they’ll think they’ve reached 70.”

Irene stared at the list.

“Even if the five of them got together, they wouldn’t be your opponent. That’s strange. Why are you so obsessed?”

“I lose.”

“I didn’t mean strength.”

Irene raised the corners of her mouth as she watched Amelia fight.

“They lack the virtues that a knight needs. Judgment, etiquette, honor for the lord, etc.”

“Do you know how long it takes to develop a commoner knight into a worthy knight?”

“Okay.”

“At the shortest, three years. The Teutons of the past were like that.”

Liszt said intensely.

“The present Teutons are different. They are only focused on power.”

Kang!

Charon’s sword deflected Amelia’s. Charon, who saw the gap, started the first attack. At that moment, the composition changed. Amelia was in a hurry to stop it.

“Can you see it? The children of Windsor, the most powerful family in the history of the Empire, are being pushed aside. It is the price of giving up one’s virtue as a knight. Will develop further in the future. When you’re my age, I guarantee you. Each of the Teutons will become a monster.”

Only then did Louis find out the difference she felt.

No matter how much there is a difference between what you witnessed in person and the content of the story, you said something was strange.

No matter how you look at it, the current Teutons are immature. But I realized from Liszt’s words.

‘…… The Teutons appear in the final chapter. It’s been 3 years since I graduated from the academy, so it’s about 7 years later.’

List bent her waist toward Louis and Irene.

“They are the future of the empire. Please, pass through one of my necks.”

**

I am not feeling well.

The last injury didn’t even heal.

I couldn’t use my left arm at all, and even my right arm felt heavy.

But more serious than that-

‘I…… ‘

It was a state of mind.

In Karon’s life, she never once bent her back.

Everyone has praised and welcomed him for his great talent.

Maybe that’s why.

He didn’t know that there were people with more power than him.

He didn’t know that there was someone with greater power than himself.

Charon’s vision has been locked in the Teutons since he was 13 years old.

I am reflecting. If I go back, I won’t.

He will not do anything that would cause great harm to His Majesty, his lord.

‘What’s the point of regretting it now?’

Charon said as he roughly shook his sword.

“You can’t use one hand.”

At first glance, Amelia seemed to be holding the sword with both hands, but Charon, who had competed directly with her, noticed. One hand was not holding the sword.

“I wanted to compete in perfect conditions. Because otherwise it has no meaning. But now that it’s like this, there’s nothing you can do about it. I can only fight with one hand.”

“Even if you use both hands, it will be difficult for you to beat me. That’s the difference in skill. You’re stubborn for nothing.”

“I mean, I hope you do it after you win!”

Amelia swung her sword in a straight line. As befits her personality, it is an honest sword. And the honest sword cannot reach Charon.

It wasn’t difficult to subdue Amelia. She is an opponent she has beaten once. But what next?

Charon shook his sword with a distressed expression.

How do you deal with that monstrous woman and that little kid who can destroy mankind with a single spell?

‘Oh, this.’

Amelia’s sword squeezed through her center. There were two options. Dodge or slash.

Charon chose to avoid. She was his old habit. She leaned her right side.

However, Amelia’s sword had already reached the right side. As if, as expected.

‘…… Did you read it? I didn’t have this level of skill.’

Charon tried to shed Amelia’s sword as much as she could. However-

“You have a lot of thoughts about the sword.”

“… ….”

Before I knew it, Amelia’s sword was touching her own neck.

“I lost.”

Charon said nonchalantly.

Amelia’s face contorted.

“I didn’t ask for a duel just to see you like this.”

Charon bit his molar.

“Then what am I supposed to do here? If you win, do you think your brother and sister will stay still?”

“…… Excuse me. It wasn’t just the body, the situation itself wasn’t fair.”

Amelia drew her sword. And she said with a serious face.

“If you win this duel, I will take on everything the Teutons have done so far. I promise on the name of Amelia Windsor.”

“… !”

It was then that a ray of light appeared on Charon’s face, who had lost her will to fight. His dark complexion changed in an instant, burning his hideous eyes.

“Accept.”

An oath given to a noble by the name of the family is absolute.

If you break the oath, you will be expelled from the family.

‘Is it okay to win? If I win, will all problems be solved?’

Charon’s attitude changed.

Amelia looked at Charon calmly.

From noble mtl dot com

‘…… That’s fortunate.’

Red lines stretched out from Charon’s sword.

‘Because my opponent is weak.’

Amelia also wrapped her blue magic around her sword.

As if she meant that she would never use her two hands, she held the sword in one hand and stretched it out.

Charon watched Amelia calmly. Amelia twisted her forepaw and lowered her stance. As she tries to move-

“—!”

Charon moved one step first. Amelia quickly changed her posture. She was on the defensive.

And by that, I mean stopped.

The corner of Charon’s mouth went up.

Charon’s dispel is not limited to wizards. Because it nullifies the magic itself. In other words, if it is in a ‘stationary state’, it also works for the knight’s sword skill.

Charon swung his sword, sensing victory. Amelia brought her sword to the point of her strike.

Kwaaang!

There was a roar as the magical powers intertwined. With a huge explosion, Charon’s sword moved forward without hesitation.

Amelia panicked when her own mighty sword skills didn’t work for her. The feeling of stretching her fist out of her water. She had no strength at all.

‘If that’s the case, I’ll just have to wield it with more power.’

Amelia bit her lip.

“Ahhh!”

‘Did you notice?’

Amelia was trying to push Charon away with her power. That’s a smart choice Dispel cannot be used if the stationary state is broken.

‘You are quick-witted. But, it’s already too late.’

Already at a disadvantage. No matter how strong one is, it is impossible to move the sword in this state.

‘This is my victory. Windsor.’

But then.

“Sister-! Go for it!”

At Louis’ cry, Amelia’s cold sweaty expression changed.

“Huh-“

Koo Goo Goong-!

The ground moved in a big circle.

“!”

Karon’s eyes fluttered as she watched her own arm being pushed back.

‘What kind of power… !’

And at that moment-

“Haaap!”

Tung!

Amelia’s arm curved.

Charon flew high into the sky.

Shiny.

Seeing Charon disappear as her star, Amelia wiped the sweat from her forehead with her proud face.

Meanwhile, Ruid was cheering hard with his staff lighted up.

“… ….”

Looking at Amelia, who gave Charon a tour of the moon with pure human power, she made a strange expression. She even did that with one hand.

‘I can’t be fooled by my sister.’

Beyond ignorance, it was wonderful.
